And in the end=2C the world almost never heard of Linux and would have had =
BSD everywhere. Linus stated that he prob would have never made Linux if th=
e litigation around BSD 4.4 had ended earlier.=20

But why he feels like he can take over the GNU OS just because he made the =
kernel never made sense to me. I'm glad the GNU project finally got Hurd go=
ing though=2C even though they too almost went with a BSD 4.4 based kernel =
before Linux came along
